GOPers exercising their right to be idiots

In yet another round of colossal stupidity, Senate Republicans have again tried to block President Obama's Iran nuclear deal.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican majority leader, had called for a second vote despite protests from Democrats that it was a waste of time!

The Dems have a solid block of 42 senators, which is enough to prevent a vote on the deal. Yes, Senate Democrats have learned the lessons of our stonewalling Republican brothers very well! But rather than simply accepting defeat on this matter and moving on to, you know, legislating important shit, McConnell is stubbornly and mindlessly flogging a horse that's not only dead, but also attracting flies and vultures!

Still, with next year's election already looming large in the puny little minds of fearful Republicans, they continue to grandstand and waste valuable time on an issue that's already been settled.
